An Hour With Jonathan Goforth: A Biography by Walter McCleary is a comprehensive account of the life and legacy of Jonathan Goforth, a Canadian missionary who dedicated his life to spreading the gospel in China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a detailed overview of Goforth's upbringing, education, and early career as a pastor in Canada, before delving into his life-changing decision to move to China with his wife and family in 1888.Through a combination of personal anecdotes, historical research, and excerpts from Goforth's own writings, McCleary paints a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs that Goforth faced during his time in China. From his early struggles to learn the language and adapt to the culture, to his later successes in establishing churches and evangelizing to thousands of Chinese people, Goforth's story is one of perseverance, faith, and dedication.In addition to chronicling Goforth's missionary work, the book also explores his personal life, including his marriage to fellow missionary Rosalind Goforth and their experiences raising their children in China. McCleary also delves into Goforth's later years, including his return to Canada and his continued work as a speaker and advocate for missions.Overall, An Hour With Jonathan Goforth is a fascinating and inspiring biography that offers readers a glimpse into the life of one of Canada's most influential missionaries. Whether you are a history buff, a fan of biographies, or simply interested in learning more about the role of Christianity in China, this book is a must-read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
